Congratulations to my former colleague, Councilwoman Randi Meredith, on her mural in Strawberry Alley.

Councilwoman Meredith left office when her term expired in April 2026. She was replaced by Councilman Perry Higgs.

Thank you for creating public art for all of us to enjoy!

As part of an effort to beautify downtown Milton, members of the Milton Arts Guild painted new, strawberry-themed murals in, where else, Strawberry Alley. The alley runs behind the brick building on Federal Street where the art guild is located and runs back toward the fire hall.
